The Workflow Satisfiability Problem (WSP) is a problem of interest in access control of information security. In its simplest form, the problem coincides with the Constraint Satisfiability Problem, where the number of variables is usually much smaller than the number of values. Wang and Li (ACM Trans. Inf. Syst. Secur. 2010) were the first to study the WSP as a problem parameterized by the number of variables. Their paper initiated very fruitful research surveyed by Cohen, Crampton, Gutin and Wahlström (2017). In this paper, we overview more recent WSP algorithmic developments and discuss computational experiments performed on two new testbeds of WSP instances. These WSP instances are closer to real-world ones than those by Karapetyan et al. (JAIR 2019). One of the two testbeds is generated using a novel iterative approach for obtaining computationally hard WSP instances.

Many efficient algorithms for the computation of optimum stable models in the context of Answer Set Programming (ASP) are based on unsatisfiable core analysis. Among them, algorithm OLL was the first introduced in the context of ASP, whereas algorithms ONE and PMRES were first introduced for solving the Maximum Satisfiability problem (MaxSAT) and later on adapted to ASP. In this paper, we present the porting to ASP of another state-of-the-art algorithm introduced for MaxSAT, namely K, which generalizes ONE and PMRES. Moreover, we present a new algorithm called OLL-IN-ONE that compactly encodes all aggregates of OLL by taking advantage of shared aggregate sets propagators. The performance of the algorithms have been empirically compared on instances taken from the latest ASP Competition.

This paper presents GASAT, a hybrid algorithm for the satisfiability problem (SAT). The main feature of GASAT is that it includes a recombination stage based on a specific crossover and a tabu search stage. We have conducted experiments to evaluate the different components of GASAT and to compare its overall performance with state-of-the-art SAT algorithms. These experiments show that GASAT provides very competitive results.

The Maximum Satisfiability Problem, or MaxSAT, offers a suitable problem solving formalism for combinatorial optimization problems. Nevertheless, MaxSAT solvers implementing the Branch-and-Bound (BnB) scheme have not succeeded in solving challenging real-world optimization problems. It is widely believed that BnB MaxSAT solvers are only superior on random and some specific crafted instances. At the same time, SAT-based MaxSAT solvers perform particularly well on real-world instances. To overcome this shortcoming of BnB MaxSAT solvers, this paper proposes a new BnB MaxSAT solver called MaxCDCL. The main feature of MaxCDCL is the combination of clause learning of soft conflicts and an efficient bounding procedure. Moreover, the paper reports on an experimental investigation showing that MaxCDCL is competitive when compared with the best performing solvers of the 2020 MaxSAT Evaluation. MaxCDCL performs very well on real-world instances, and solves a number of instances that other solvers cannot solve. Furthermore, MaxCDCL, when combined with the best performing MaxSAT solvers, solves the highest number of instances of a collection from all the MaxSAT evaluations held so far.
